Better Prepared

With the Better Prepared campaign, we aim to bring the benefits of Scouting to 200 of the most deprived areas of the UK by 2018.

Scouts transforms lives, so we want every young person in the UK to have the opportunity to be involved. Visit the Better Prepared website to find out how.

You will know a Scout by their values; co-operation, respect and integrity. When a child takes their Scout Promise they are not just joining a youth club, they are making a choice to live a meaningful life, full of fun, adventure and friendship – and most importantly to put others before themselves.

Our aim is to ensure every young person feels empowered, valued, and proud. Through our Better Prepared campaign we will bring Scouting to 200 of the most deprived areas in the UK.

We will provide every young person - especially those otherwise let down by society - with the chance to develop the skills, resilience and character that will determine the rest of their life.

You can help change the life of a young person for as little as £5 a month. Your gift will help transform the lives of those like Sonny and give them the opportunity to thrive.
